I believe this is the Doctors' watch that is a larger version of the Nurses' one that looks identical. They were both mid-1920's.
You're right about that. At one point, I picked up a spare 826 on eBay because it had what appeared to be an identical dial, but original and in passable condition. I figured it would be nice to have one perfect restored dial, and one decent original. But when it arrived, I found that the dial was a couple millimeters smaller in diameter. It must have come from the smaller nurse's version.
